2005 toyota solara. Consumer writes in regards to air bag non deployment after an accident.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) I purchased a certified used toyota car (vehicle VIN: [xxx]) on 12/22/2008 from fremont toyota dealer ([xxx]), which leads a nightmare as it's a wrecked cert. Rejected car with 2 tire valve stems broken on day 1 and day 8 after purchase and another 2 tires flat again on may 10 1. The rear right tire valve stem broke on 12/23/2008 (the first day after purchase) and the tire pressure monitoring system indicator (tpws) was on so I drove the car to the service department on 12/24/2008. Dealer claim they fixed the problem and also checked all the other tires and make sure they are working. 2. On 1/1/2009, the front right tire valve stem broke again and the tpws was not on. This happened when we drove on highway 5 at 75 miles/hour and we don't even know the tire already 2/3 was flattened!! We happened to look for restaurant at that time and a person coming out of restaurant pointed to us this flat tire! If we did not exit for rest, all 5 passengers in the car could no longer be in this world now. 3. Further complete discovery on this car reveals: a. Bondo was applied on the following areas: left fender on rear behind wheel opening area; right door from upper center to bottom of door; and, rt quarter panel in front of wheel opening area the amount of bondo applied to the subject vehicle,clearly indicates the damage/wreck/repair in these areas were extensive. B.sand scratched and dirt under paint are obvious in many areas, this is the result of a poor quality re-paint job. The re-paint of the vehicle is further evidenced by the paint mil gauge readings from 8 miles to 12 miles. This matches kearny mesa toyota's 160 point rejection. C.the paint job alone estimate (not including the body repair) was over $2200 and yet was this re-paint was not reported. The faulty paint job is a known defect to anyone that looks at the vehicle in the automotive industry. D. The right fender was previously removed. And more.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) my airbags did not deploy when I totaled my 2005 toyota solara sle in a weather related accident. I have not been able to get through to toyota by phone, and my e-mail went unanswered. I also, as advised by the customer service phone message, went to my dealership for help. They are not authorized to assist in these matters. I want the airbags in my vehicle investigated. State farm insurance is holding the car in storage for this purpose. Contact information is as follows: claim number [xxx]; contact debra with state farm at 1‑800‑208‑3287. I suffered severe whiplash and am now having pain problems because of this accident.
I was in an accident on september 10, 2005. I was driving northbound on 5th street in santa monica and had the green light. As I entered the intersection, I saw a car going eastbound on santa monica blvd entering the intersection against the light. I was unable to stop in time and hit the other car. My airbags did not deploy. The on-scene officers, the body shop, and the claims adjuster were concerned that my air bags did not deploy. I contacted toyota and they did an inspection and on or about 10/7/05 concluded that there was not a problem with the air bags. They will not give me a copy of the report. I had an accident reconstructionist look at photos of my car and she stated the airbags should have deployed.
